How to customize this workflow:

Adapt to ANY Topic: Change the “HTTP Request” node to use a news API for your desired topic (AI, Sports, World News, etc.). Critically, adjust the prompts in the “Summary news GPT” node to be relevant to your chosen topic so the AI generates appropriate summaries and social media content.
Adjust Scheduling Frequency: Modify the “Schedule Trigger” node to change how often the workflow runs and posts news.
Adjust Scheduling Frequency: Modify the “Schedule Trigger” node to change the frequency of news updates (e.g., change the interval from 90 minutes to a different value).
Modify News Filtering: Customize the Python code in the “Extract Meta” node to adjust the news filtering criteria. You can change the time window (currently 30 minutes) or filter based on other criteria from the CryptoPanic API response.
Experiment with GPT Models: In the “Summary news GPT” node, try different OpenAI models (e.g., gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo-16k) to see how they affect the summarization quality and output. Note that more advanced models may incur higher API costs.
Customize AI Prompts: Fine-tune the system and user prompts in the “Summary news GPT” node to alter the tone, style, or format of the generated X and Telegram content. You can adjust the persona of the AI blogger, the desired level of detail in summaries, or specific keywords to include.
Extend to Other Platforms: Add nodes to post to other social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, or Discord by adapting the “Summary news GPT” prompts and integrating relevant n8n nodes for those platforms.
